I also have a banana in my garage but it’s only for OP’s mom.

Is that a banana in your garage or are you just happy to see me?

Its sarcasm, I guess I could have added the /s for clarity. I mean yeah you’re being reasonable but I’ve definitely been downvoted around some parts of Lemmy for not being fervently in agreement (not even technically in disagreement). Some parts around here get pretty kooky and cultish, particularly revolving around some countries and political ideologies, and AI but to a degree that’s always expected online.

It’s big business. Pretty much every social network got its start with bots, major creators and influencers used artificial engagement to get their start, websites use tons of artificial traffic to rank higher on search results.

The other tactic is using a traditional bot net aka a hacker infects as many machines as possible essentially just to use them as a click farm.

It’s a whole grey or black market.

You use a board farm like This. Each has its own IP address and if need be you set up a static IP for them over VPN.

Everything? Probably not. The important stuff like major subs pertaining to news, politics, religion, and specific culture topics? Most definitely. I doubt r/dragonsfuckingcars is deep state reddit propaganda.

Or else they’ll eat you. Left, right, or center, religious, agnostic, or atheist there’s a shared enemy who’s more than happy to capitalize on what are arguably less important disagreements aka shit we can solve tomorrow as for today there are bigger fish to fry. Trust me when I say the wealthy across the globe have more in common with one another than they have with any of their fellows via any other distinction.

Your friendly reminder that companies and governments only do what the majority allow them to do. That’s why their main strategy is to divide and conquer. So while everyone is having a culture war they will slowly be screwing everyone over. By the time we figure out who can use which bathroom the government and economy will be collapsing.

Gawd damn, you’re right

The Hannah Montana pantheon, you know the true God’s of this reality we all worship less we be sent to detention for eternity.

It doesn’t take a genius. People across the entirety of human history have figured out this lesson without any formal or modern education. That said, it is true the idea needs to be out there that the people have the power and it is their responsibility to use it.

The government does what the people allow it to do, same as corporations. It is the duty of citizens to police their government as well as corporations and consequently hold the keys to the kingdom, to riches. As above, most people are ignorant which to a degree is understandable, we can’t all be aware of everything all the time but like individual things in our life, we need to become aware when it is vital. I’ve never been a fan of just blaming the rich and powerful, it removes all agency from the masses who allowed it to happen. Power comes when people know they have it and with power comes responsibility to wield it.

Don’t worry, the majority of the global population are roped into it through convenience, cost savings at purchase, and ignorance. The true power is and has always been in the majority’s hands. If they don’t want something then it cannot be. For instance if enough of the population refused to buy single use plastics then no seller could make money from those products, no producer could make money manufacturing them and ultimately there would be no single use plastics. It’s called a carrot mob, the majority swing the carrot (the money) the way they want and the rabbit (industry) follows. The majority of the world aren’t helpless weaklings incapable of action and at the whims of a few hundred or dozen individuals.

As God intended.

I’ve done industrial networking protocols but never Bluetooth. I’m guessing some equipment didn’t implement the standard correctly or fully. Typically there’s someone you gotta pay like $10k+ to verify your equipment meets the standard so you can put the logo on the box but I’m sure the headphone or whatever device has pawned that responsibility off to whoever they bought their Bluetooth chip from.

I feel like you haven’t been reading anything I’ve been saying. Idk man the people on here sure like to think I am but I’m pretty sure actual Zionist would hate me even more.

To myself I am free of any national, religious, cultural, or political ideology beyond that I want to end needless and avoidable suffering for all minds anywhere in existence. That includes all humans and even nonhuman minds on earth as well as minds anywhere else in existence. So if by your definition that makes me a Zionist then so be it but I don’t think a Zionist would agree with the above definition. In short call me whatever you want, it won’t change the above statement for me.

Mad? Not really. I’m sad there’s not enough coverage on other tragedies. Personally I would rather all of these tragedies end so I guess wanting the killings in Gaza to end and the killings elsewhere to end makes a dumb Zionist then I guess that’s how it is although I don’t think actual Zionist would agree with my views to free Palestine.

I don’t think just talking about what’s happening literally is minimizing anything. All. Of these atrocities should end immediately. If that view makes me scum to you then I have bad news for you buddy.

What’s one criticism you have of China or the CCP?
